About ED's
She is Suffering
by Manic Street Preachers
Beauty finds refuge in herself
Lovers wrapped inside each others lies
Beauty is such a terrible thing
She is suffering yet more than death
She is suffering
She sucks you deeper in
She is suffering
You exist within her shadow
Beauty she is scarred into man's soul
A flower attracting lust, vice and sin
A vine that can strangle life from a tree
Carrion, surrounding, picking on leaves
She is suffering
She sucks you deeper in
She is suffering
You exist within her shadow
Beauty she poisons unfaithful all
Stifled, her touch is leprous and pale
The less she gives the more you need her
No thoughts to forget when we were children
She is suffering
She sucks you deeper in
She is suffering
Nature's lukewarm pleasure.
Dear Anorexia
By the Smokejumpers
Hello ignorance, my faithful friend
You'll always be there to the bitter end
Hey there apathy, my secret lover
How did we ever get on without the other?
Come on forgiveness, my one adversary
Please get here fast, this is getting scary
You're wasting away
Have you eaten today?
No-- Don't go away now
I swear I can still feel you somehow
No-- Don't disappear yet
You said this was one thing I would not regret
We've reached a great height
But remember, it's a long way down....
Hey there insomnia, what pretty blue eyes
Such pretty lips and such beautiful lies
Shattered self confidence falls to the floor
Eyes like a tempest can't look anymore
Guilt like an artist, paint me abstract
Torn bloody knees and I'm on the right track
You look great today
For a skeleton, anyway
No-- Don't go away now
I swear I can still feel you somehow
No-- Don't disappear yet
You said this was one thing I would not regret
We've reached a great height
But remember, it's a long way down....
Everything's turned upside-down
Flipped on its side and spun right around
Whatever you do, don't look down
Whatever you do...
No-- Don't go away now
I swear I can still feel you somehow
No-- Don't disappear yet
You said this was one thing I would not regret
We've reached a great height
But remember, it's a long way down....
About SI
"And the wild regrets, and the bloody sweats
None knew so well as I:
For he who lives more lives then one
More deaths then one must die."
~Oscar Wilde
"A decade of cutting away
dead flesh, cauterizing
old scars ripped open over and over
and still it is not enough."
-Adrienne Rich,
"Toward the Solstice"
Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.
-Vittorio Alfieri
"And I am still alive - what though, my damnation is eternal. A man who deliberately mutilates himself is truly damned, is
he not? I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am.."
--Rimbaud
copper torso writhes
bright flames lick ever upwards
red pool trickles free
And with tears of blood he cleansed the hand,
The hand that held the steel:
For only blood can wipe out blood
And only tears can heal.”
-Oscar Wilde
-The Ballad of Reading Gaol-
